Share recipe
Description
Came back from Ireland craving this! This is what I came up with after a ton of Internet research and some playing around. Serve with Irish butter.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon cornmeal
- 1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
- ⅔ cup oat bran
- ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup steel-cut instant oats
- ⅓ cup wheat germ
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon molasses
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with butter and dust with cornmeal.
- 2. Whisk whole wheat flour, oat bran, whole wheat pastry flour, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar together in a large bowl.
- 3. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, olive oil, and molasses together in a separate bowl. Add most of the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture; mix with a spoon. Continue adding buttermilk mixture until batter is the consistency of oatmeal.
- 4. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Brush any of the remaining buttermilk mixture over the loaf.
- 5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 1 hour. Invert onto a wire rack to cool.
